Opening Thoughts:
Snow White hasn't always been one of my پسندیدہ princesses, in fact she was once rather low on my list. I just dismissed her for being traditional and personality-less, but just in this last سال she's stolen my دل and I've been in love with her ever since. I love how Snow White is a relatively confident person; she takes charge of situations and isn't afraid to be forceful with her opinions, yet Snow White is still respectful. I love that while she's confident, she also has insecurities, shown through her wanting everyone to like her. I also love the strength that Snow White possesses. The fact that she got through her horrible life with a smile on her face is inspirational and astounding to me. I also love how playful and motherly she is with the dwarfs. Though in the end, the true reason I love Snow White is the neverending smile she can put on my face. She's just such a unique character and is so different from the characters we see today, and I love her joyfulness and hope. Snow White is amazing and I know that she'll always be a پسندیدہ of mine.
Her Intelligence:
Snow White is often painted as one of the dumbest princesses, namely because of her eating of the apple. First off, being naive doesn't necessarily mean not intelligent. Also, Snow White does several intelligent things that go unnoticed with a lot of people. The fact that she goes through such a traumatic experience as almost getting killed, but then can pick herself up and think logically is insane to me. Most people would be so torn up that they'd either give up یا be so lost that they wouldn't know what to do, but Snow White has a game plan. She has to find shelter and she almost immediately goes looking for it. Also, Snow's intelligence is shown through her using her strengths to her advantage. She's quite manipulative through her using her charm, cooking, and cleaning to not only get a place to stay, but to get the dwarfs to listen to her. All in all, Snow's naivety (which is greatly exaggerated as is) shouldn't be confused with a lack of intelligence.
Her Intelligence Continued {Apple Eating}:
Snow White certainly isn't nearly as naive as people paint her to be. Yes, she is a bit naive, but Snow didn't know (presumably) that the Queen had any powers, so she only was expecting to see the Queen, not some old hag that didn't resemble the Queen whatsoever. Also, the birds were attacking the poor old lady, and knowing Snow she's always willing to help someone in need. People say it was foolish for her to eat the apple, but the wishing well did work (she wished for a prince and a prince came) so what's so unrealistic about a magic wishing apple?
Her Confidence and Insecurity:
I love how Snow White is confident, yet insecure at the same time. She's confident in the fact that she's not scared to go into the dwarf's ہوم and boss them around. She's quite assertive and doesn't strike me as a passive character whatsoever. If something isn't going the way she likes, she isn't scared to tell people to get it done, یا else. She probably likes to take control of situations as she's spent her entire life forced into becoming presumably a servant to the Queen. While confident, she's also insecure. When she first sees the prince, she doesn't run away out of shyness, as it's quite obvious in the way she acts around the dwarfs she is not a shy person, but out of the fact that she doesn't look good and she's embarrassed because of that. Also, she wants to be liked سے طرف کی everyone. She makes the entire house nice and tidy for them so they'll like her, and later prays that Grumpy will like her as he's the only one that doesn't seem to like her.
Her Strength:
Snow White is also a lot stronger than دیا credit for. The fact that she's survived years of, well, we don't know for sure, but it can't be good, but still maintains her cheerful temperament deserves a prize of it's own. The fact that she's been wishing for the one she loves and right when he comes he's taken away from her, but she doesn't let that bring her down like most people probably would is extremely admirable. She's very, very level headed. After almost being killed, I don't know about you, but I'd for sure be a wreck, but not Snow White. She cries, reasonably, but picks herself together and realizes she needs to find shelter and food. She's very reasonable in the fact that she doesn't let one thing control her emotions. Yes the prince is gone, but she thinks about what's ahead of her instead of that.
Her Strength Continued:
Snow's a trooper, plain and simple. She's fourteen years old, the youngest of all the princesses, and yet despite that arguably has to deal with the most. I find her to be a huge role model in my life. In hard times, I look to her and think about how she remained her cheerful and optimistic temperament despite all that was thrown at her, so why shouldn't I? Snow shows so much strength, it seriously baffles me when people call her weak. Weak because she cries for about five سیکنڈ after almost being killed? That's the definition of strength in my book. Snow White has almost been killed, is now homeless and knows that someone is out there looking to still kill her, yet instead of crying crazily, she apologizes to a bunch of animals for scaring them. I MEAN COME ON. She's just such a bundle of optimism and joy despite her terrible childhood and her strength just shines through her brightly.
Her Playfulness and Charm:
She's also quite playful. Laughing at Grumpy when he hits his head and saying, "You must be Grumpy." She has a bit of a cynical side which shows that she isn't always 100% rainbows and sunshine, which is somewhat nice. She's also good at using her charm to get what she wants. She's good at making other people feel bad so she can get what she wants, which is displayed when she's checking the dwarfs hands and keeps talking about how disappointed she is in all of them.
Her Relatability:
It seems no one relates to her nowadays, but the مزید I look at her personality, the مزید parallels I see between her and I. I can relate to her always apologizing, even when not needed, her bossiness/leadership skills, her slight insecurity yet seemingly confident manner, her wanting to be liked سے طرف کی everyone, her optimism with others (I'm optimistic when talking to others, pessimistic when talking to myself), and more.
Concluding Thoughts:
To conclude, Snow White is actually a lot مزید than a happy-go-lucky character; she's got a bit of a zest to her through her bossiness and persuasion, and is confident, yet wants to be loved as well. She's a wonderful princess who deserves so much مزید love than she's دیا and is truly a phenomenal character.
